A new moon occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and Sun and its lit side faces away from us. For a night or two the Moon seems to vanish from the sky.
New Moon
- Write down one clear intention for the coming cycle.
- Start new habits — the growing Moon will “carry” them with you.
- Declutter one small area; empty space invites new beginnings.
- Schedule demanding work for the waxing weeks that follow.
- Rest more — energy is naturally at its monthly low.
